[Verse 1]
                 G                      Am
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
D                            C         G
Wrapped in swaddling, oh the prince of peace
                 G                      Am
the Wheels start turning, torches start burning
        D                    C        G
And the old wise men journey from the East


[Chorus]
      Em          Am            D              G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
         Am G/B C                    Am G/B C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Am              D  G            Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

[Verse 2]
                G                       Am
A shepherd on a hillside, where over my flock I bide
       D                           C      G
On a cold winter night a band of angels sing
             G                               Am
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice
          D                               C         G
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"


[Chorus]

      Em          Am            D              G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
         Am G/B C                    Am G/B C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Am              D  G            Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

G   Em


[Verse 3]

              G                       Am
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
    D                     C       G
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
            G                    Am
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
D                         C          G
Right below the star that shines on high


[Chorus]

      Em          Am            D              G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
         Am G/B C                    Am G/B C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Am              D  G            Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

G   Em


[Refrain]

         Am G/B C                    Am  G/B C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Am              D  G            Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

     G    Em     G    Em     G    Em     G
Be tonight, be tonight, be tonight, be tonight
